The objective of this project is to complete the material definition and related manufacturing process, to complete its characterisation and to perform a pre-qualification of a European ablative heatshield material for the Earth re-entry capsule of sample return missions (e.g. Mars, comets, asteroids).

This project aims to develop know-how and technologies for launch vehicles, in the domain of GNC and next-generation avionics, with the objective to achieve a functional validation of integrated technologies.

This project focuses on sensing nodes development (powered by energy harvesting technologies). The nodes are conceived to be used on-ground, during storage, pre-launch phase, and during ascent/in orbit phases, e.g. Launcher staging to allow communication between stages after separation.

The project aims to define and prototype a multi-radio communication platform capable of using, in cognitive and opportunistic mode, heterogeneous wireless communication technologies for monitoring and control of complex systems for industrial and aerospace markets.
